Pressing of steel

At Thor Ahlgren, we see steel as a malleable material, like the old masters in the early days of industry. We have embraced the legacy of the early industrial years and combined it with modern technology. At the same time, we have preserved the spirit of hard work and craftsmanship that characterized those times. Through our pressing process, we produce parts that meet customer requirements - from simple to complex geometries. 

Why choose Thor Ahlgren?

  • Innovation and precision: From prototype to mass production. 
  • Material diversity: Steel, high-strength steel, stainless steel, copper, brass or aluminum - we handle it all. 
  • Environmental considerations: Our sustainability strategy is integrated into every step of production. We measure our CO2 footprint and strive for sustainable business and a pleasant working environment. 

Our services in pressing

Do you have an item that needs to be pressed? We specialize in production customization to ensure that production is as efficient as possible and according to your specifications. With our machines, we punch and press details with precision in shape, depth and surface. Whether it's a small or large series, we always deliver with the agreed precision. 

What is pressing?

Pressing is a process where metal is formed using a press and a press tool, often in several stages. The method is used to produce parts with varying and complex geometries. Materials used in pressing can be high-strength steels, spring steels, steel, aluminum, copper and brass. 

Eccentric pressing

Eccentric pressing is a sheet metal forming technique used to punch, cut or shape materials using an eccentric press. The eccentric press consists of a frame, a movable upper part and a pressboard and an eccentric mechanism that converts rotary motion into linear motion. A pressing tool is placed on the press table. When the press is activated, a motor rotates an eccentric shaft coupled to a flywheel. The eccentric shape of the shaft converts the rotary motion into a linear motion, driving the top of the press downwards with great force and precision. The process can be repeated quickly and continuously, making eccentric pressing a very efficient method for mass production of sheet metal parts. Eccentric presses are widely used in manufacturing where high precision and fast cycle times are important, such as in the automotive, electronics and other sectors with high volumes of parts. 

Pressing and their benefits

Pressing is an efficient method for cutting and shaping materials. The method offers several advantages:

- High precision: creates accurate and consistent shapes.

- Efficient production: Enables fast production of large volumes.

- Versatility: Can be used on a wide range of materials.

By combining tradition and reliable technology, Thor Ahlgren continues to be a leading player in stamping and metalworking.
